Is having a diagnosis important?

Is having a diagnosis important?

Yes. Always get a diagnosis for your pain problems it gives a sense of what the prognosis/expected outcome is likely to be. But having a complex diagnosis sometimes throws patients into more depression and anxiety. I'm my point of view keeping it simple makes worth to work with and prevent unnecessary stress in patients. Patients do understand their own bodies better and that forms our initial working diagnosis. Whatever we find then we are able to communicate it in a simple way.

Spine alignment plays a major role in your body function. If your spine is properly aligned it assumes proper nerve messaging and most of our organs rely on messaging uninterrupted to function at optimal. Poor spine functions or pain can result into other body illnesses. FDM gives us another perspective to look for those hidden misalignments.

We have an holistic approach to looking at your body to understand your pain. We treat the body as one unit rather than separately looking at paining parts. Unbalanced tension in our connective tissue tends to be the main cause of pain.

Understanding your body means understanding your injury.

Understanding your body means understanding your injury.

Movement is Life, we need to move as much as possible for our bodies to adapt better in the environment. If you have an injury, it's important to understand the structure at default, what kind of restrictions are occurring and this helps to guide you into the future prognosis of the problem. Subconscious every patient knows when to start loading, but putting in an understanding about the cause of the dysfunction, eases and calms the patient and this prepares them back to face life.

Causes of Fascial Alterations

Causes of Fascial Alterations

Fascial distortions can be due to overuse, injury, everyday repetitive mvt or stress, poor circulation and lack of essential minerals and vitamins. Like any other tissue fascia works better if it gets sufficient oxygenated blood supply. With Fascia Therapy we can diminish aches and pains, increase flexibility, range of movement, enhance performance and accelerate recovery. FDM therapy and any fascia therapies help improve metabolic function.

Basics about fascia as a pain receptor".

Basics about fascia as a pain receptor".

Fascia is a connective tissue that keeps the mascular and skeletal systems together. Without fascia we can't have body form. Fascia has a higher percentage of nerve endings than any other tissue in the body, about 80% of nerve endings are adherent to the fascia system. If you happen to get pain it means something is actually interfering with the fascia tension and as well affecting the ability of the fascia to glide. Static posture are bad for fascia gliding /movement. Try and reduce static postures because our bodies are designed for movement.
